The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. It goes under
many names but it Is essen.
TALLY the same compls. ut.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded The average of life
In the United States is de-
ereasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of Spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
pros1ation, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all ti'cn. si,:,,t and horror.
Ihcec t<..ts ars startling.
They threaten he very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
caosss What are they2 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow
eIty; the use of narcotics and
stilnulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and FILL the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated In the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, AssIn-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being ;mpeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its waanings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss Of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
re ason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness
palpltation Of tho heart; sal
1owness Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donnent of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
In each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Extract of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, Is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion Of bile, ex-
| pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Extracts eigel's Syrup
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
it's wonderful influence upon
the function Of nutrition.
It is safe to say more nerv-
GUS dyspeptics have been re.
stored by it from the depths
of misery TO q fresh enjoyment
of life and labor than by any
or all other 1otzne Of treatment
combined.
